agree it's crap have defended it
Tullibody. Nice enough. Mostly.
A big village of new houses with a pond, a park round every corner and not a lot else.
Tully had tanneries, glue works and pits. Now it has houses, more of them every year, with the shops and the school left to catch up. It's wall-to-wall parks and everyone lives within 400 metres of one. When the council wanted shot of the Civic Centre, the locals bought it, which is very inconvenient when you're trying to slag a place off. The Delph Pond used to freeze over for the curling.
Nothing much happens. The sewage barely registers and the burglars stay away. Somebody's carrying, mind: possession of weapons comes in at 1.8 times the typical Scottish town's.
